I have a question, there is a tunnel in the bottom of the fuse, I assume this is for a muffler, Drrr. Anyways am I supposed to open the fuse to let air escape on an electric build?

Yes, you need to open up an area in the fuse. Otherwise your motor, batteries, and esc will cook!

 

[3dNater]

General rule is to make the opening 2x the size of the air intake.

hanks, I will do it. Also looking at the 64" MSX I bought (Used and was flying it), the previews owner didn't open that fuse either. Strange.. very strnge

On the 64" is there a cowl opening or something? Those components really need some airflow or they will suffer a short lifespan.

Haha... that is how I feel about work (accounting). I think it is good for a guy to be humbled often. I find out new hobby stuff all the time as well I'm glad we have the forum. I would be pretty dumb and would have missed out on a lot of great experiences without the interwebs. So... thanks for being a part and contributing!

Hey guys, whats the proper Spinner Gap? I have 1/4" and it looks like Arse. I am thinking 1/8 is better, what do you guys set up at?

 

[3dNater]

I am not too much help... never use spinners... I am guessing 1/8 would look pretty nice.
